(This article explains how to update your Origin via USB. To learn how to update your tool via WiFi, see here)
We release regular software updates that expand Origin's features and improve tool performance. These are designed to be OTA (over the air) updates; when connected to WiFi, Origin notifies the user when a new update is available and makes it easy and painless to ensure that your tool is always on the latest and best software.
If you do not have access to Wi-Fi or prefer to update via a USB stick, this is also possible on tools that are on the Fillmore release (2.6.26.0) or later. If your tool is running a release prior to Fillmore, you will need to update it via WiFi before you can update your Origin with a USB stick.
Use a USB stick that is FAT32 formatted and is at least 128 MB capacity.
Go to the Release Page and download the .shup file for the latest software release.
Important: If your current version is between Alameda (2.0.2.0) and Humboldt (3.2.22.0), you must first install Inverness (3.3.16.0) via USB before you can update to future versions. You can find the latest Inverness version here.
Copy the file to your USB stick and insert this stick into Origin's USB drive. Once Origin detects an available encrypted update on the USB stick, you will see a notification badge on the Settings icon
Tap Settings > Info
Select the release version you would like to install and tap install. Origin will install the software and automatically reboot. Once the tool has rebooted, the screen will show an onboarding tutorial for your new software.
If your Origin is already running the current software, you will be notified that there is no update currently available on your USB stick.
